Hoppla
Hub for experimentation, convergence, and knowledge exchange within the evolution of net-art and expanded media.. Hoppla critically investigates and playfully explores the technological advancement transforming contemporary art practices and society in a global context, from internet culture, protocol wars, data, software, and its social use-values.
Hoppla aims to create space that fosters innovative approaches and sustained collaborations in exhibiting, publishing, archiving, thinking, and tinkering by blurring the boundaries of arts-sciences-technologies.
Programs
Simulation
Simulation raises questions, assumptions, speculations: how to build a symbiosis of interfaces, materials, media, machines, and users? How do we mediate the ecosystems? We invite curators, creators, artists, theorists, technology practitioners to respond, initiate, produce works, and present an alternative curatorial form.
Anthology
Mapping the landscape of media culture and archiving works based on digital, internet, and other expanded media in Asia into an open-source database.
Zine
Space for dialogue and writing of experimentation, reflection, electric daydreams oriented to the practice of internet culture, expanded media, or related issues.
HopLab
Collaborative projects that allow us to explore, understand and contribute to thought processes and creativity. HopLab celebrates uncertainty and ambiguity.
